He is still a member of the Storm family (so don't move the post please).

The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have moved quickly to extend the contract of Ryan Tandy, the prop signing a two-year extension taking him through until the end of the 2012 NRL season.
He deserves the contract - he's been playing like a Storm player and really given the Bulldogs side some real go forward.

Yeah.... good luck to Ryan. He needed some certainty in order to make a living like the rest of us.

Just hope he plays his best games against teams other than Storm !   ;-)

Good on him. Like many others, was a scrap heap player and given a chance really took it.

All the best to Ryan. Did well while he was at the Storm and in some way we made him to be as good as he is now.

More like we gave him the direction & culture to re-discover himself.
Hope he has a great future.

Have been a big fan of Ryan Tandy since I saw him play a few games for Balmain Ryde Tigers in NSW Cup and Ireland in RLWC. I was pumped when he came to the Storm and I think the Storm helped turn him into a consistent first grade player.

Shame we couldn't keep him considering he would have been a relatively cheap consistent member of the forward pack.

I understand why he went to the Bulldogs and wish him all the best. I will still be supporting you and your team most of the time. (I supported the Bulldogs before the Storm existed, so they are now my "second team".)

I agree, I loved the way he played for us in the short time he spent at the club. bellamy obv tapped into what worked for Ryan where it didnt at other clubs. He seems a lot more confident now & I think he'll maintain that level, esp now he is settled for the next 2 years. All the best for him !!!

Dane Neilsen could be headed there. That wouldn't be a bad option with Tandy, Tolman and Turner already there.
